Why You’ll Love These Easy Peach Tarts


I created these Peach Frangipane Tarts as a recipe development and food photography project for 91 Magazine, creating both the recipe and accompanying imagery for their blog.

The brief was to create a simple, seasonal summer dessert using peaches, photographed alongside Oatly whipping cream. I wanted the imagery to feel natural, bright and inviting, while capturing the textures and details of the finished tarts.

These Frangipane Tarts with sliced peaches are a summer favourite of mine. The peach slices and marzipan create a custard-like filling for the flaky golden puff pastry tarts. If you can’t get hold of any peaches that are ripe enough, sliced tinned peaches work just as well, so you can enjoy these sweet treats all year around!

How to Make Peach Frangipane Tarts


Ingredients

375g pack-ready rolled puff pastry

250g marzipan

3 ripe peaches – halved, stoned and sliced

3 tbsp peach jam

2 tbsp lemon juice

250 ml Oatly whipping cream to serve


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Roll out the pastry on the baking paper it comes with so it’s a little thinner and longer. Place onto a large baking sheet and cut the pastry into individual tarts. I created 16 small tarts. Score a line 1cm from the sides of each tart.

  2. Roll the marzipan out to the same thickness as your pastry and cut out individual pieces to fit the inner section of your pastry.

  3. Arrange the sliced peaches over the marzipan. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is a golden colour.

  4. Whip the cream with an electric whisk until thickened with light peaks then refrigerate until ready to serve.

  5. Over a high heat, stir the jam and lemon juice in a saucepan for a couple of minutes, then brush over the pastry and filling. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
